SUMMARY:FINLAY DONOVAN DIGS HER OWN GRAVE: Elle Cosimano in conversation with Hannah Morrissey
DESCRIPTION:From New York Times bestseller and Edgar-Award nominee Elle Cosimano\, comes “Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave”—the hugely anticipated next installment in the fan-favorite Finlay Donovan series. \nFinlay Donovan and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero have not always gotten along with Finlay’s elderly neighbor\, Mrs. Haggerty\, the community busybody and president of the neighborhood watch. But when a simple call to a plumber turns into the discovery of a dead body in her backyard\, Mrs. Haggerty needs their help. \nJoin Elle Cosimano at The Rhode Center for the Arts on Saturday\, March 8th at 6 p.m.! Elle will be discussing her latest book with Wisconsin author Hannah Morrissey (“Hello\, Transcriber”)\, answering questions from the audience\, and signing books!\nThis is a ticketed event\, so make sure to grab your ticket before they run out! https://blue-house-books.com/events/1647920250308 \nABOUT ELLE COSIMANO \nElle Cosimano is a “New York Times” and “USA Today” bestselling author\, an International Thriller Award winner\, a Bram Stoker Award finalist\, and an Edgar® Award nominee. Her acclaimed young adult novels include “Nearly Gone”\, “Holding Smoke”\, “The Suffering Tree”\, and “Seasons of the Storm”. \nElle’s debut novel for adults\, “Finlay Donovan Is Killing It”\, kicked off a witty\, fast-paced contemporary mystery series\, which was a PEOPLE Magazine Pick and was named one of New York Public Library’s Best Books of 2021. In addition to writing novels for teens and adults\, her essays have appeared in The Huffington Post and Time. Elle lives with her husband and two sons in Virginia. \nABOUT “FINLAY DONOVAN DIGS HER OWN GRAVE” \nFinlay Donovan and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero have not always gotten along with Finlay’s elderly neighbor\, Mrs. Haggerty\, the community busybody and president of the neighborhood watch. But when a simple call to a plumber turns into the discovery of a dead body in her backyard\, Mrs. Haggerty needs their help. \nThe police take Mrs. Haggerty in for questioning and\, though she swears she’s innocent\, it’s clear to everyone she’s keeping a secret . . . but whose? With her house now an active crime scene\, she’s released from custody with nowhere to go. Her concerned grandson\, Brendan\, an aspiring politician\, doesn’t have room in his one-bedroom apartment for her and appeals to Finlay to let her stay at her place until the investigation is over. \nFinlay and Vero have no interest in getting involved in another murder case—or sacrificing either of their bedrooms so they’d have to share. After all\, they’ve dealt with enough murders over the last four months to last a lifetime and they both would much rather share their beds with someone else. But when the focus of the investigation widens to include Mrs. Haggerty’s neighbors\, Finn and Vero are left with little choice but to uncover the woman’s secrets before the police start digging up theirs. \nDesperate to clear his grandmother’s name before his upcoming campaign for local office\, Brendan Haggerty makes Finlay and Vero an offer that seems too tempting to refuse give their grandmother a place to stay under their watchful eyes and he’ll help Finlay and Vero find a killer. But who will solve the mystery first? And will the name Brendan turn over to the police exonerate or implicate them? \nABOUT HANNAH MORRISSEY \nHannah Morrissey is the author of the Black Harbor suspense series which includes “Hello\, Transcriber”\, “The Widowmaker”\, and “When I’m Dead”. A three-decade survivor of Wisconsin winters\, Hannah enjoys putting her characters (and readers) in bone-chilling atmospheres that permeate beyond the page. Naturally\, her books have carved out their own sub-genre\nof “Midwestern Noir.” \nBetween roles of bookseller and copywriter\, Hannah was inspired to write her debut novel while transcribing reports for her local police department. Far from home in a grim\, crime-ridden city\, it was her job to sit alone in the dead of night\, listen\, and type as detectives divulged the city’s darkest secrets. There\, she realized that every case was a story\, and every story started with the same two words: “Hello\, Transcriber.” \nHannah graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison where she majored in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing. She grew up in a small northern town and now lives near Milwaukee with her husband\, three pugs\, and a TBR pile that never seems to get any smaller. \nABOUT “HELLO\, TRANSCRIBER” \nEvery night\, while the streetlamps shed the only light on Wisconsin’s most crime-ridden city\, police transcriber Hazel Greenlee listens as detectives divulge Black Harbor’s gruesome secrets. An aspiring novelist\, Hazel believes that writing a book could be her only ticket out of this frozen hellscape\, but her life isn’t exactly brimming with inspiration. Until her neighbor confesses to hiding the corpse of an overdose victim. \nWith an insider’s look at the investigation\, Hazel becomes spellbound by the lead detective\, Nikolai Kole\, and the chilling narrative he shares with her. Through his transcription\, she learns that the suspicious death is linked to Candy Man—a drug dealer notorious for selling illegal substances to children—and when Kole invites her on a covert operation to help take the dealer down\, the promise of a story calls to her. As the investigation unfolds\, Hazel will discover just how far she will go for her story\, even if it means destroying her marriage\, her career\, and any chance she has of getting out of Black Harbor alive. Because if she’s learned one relentless truth about this place\, it’s the fact that everybody lies.
